Rosalie
Braamkolk

Rosalie Braamkolk is a Dutch designer promoting DIY culture and advocating for natural materials in the home and beyond. Believing we’ve entered the century of the amateur, she works through open-source methods—sharing tools, tutorials, zines, and systems that invite participation and foster collective agency.

Her practice is rooted in storytelling, ecology, and care. Through garments, publications, and spatial interventions, she explores how we relate to land, history, and each other. Working with wild plants, reclaimed materials, and community knowledge, she designs alternative systems of living and making—often blurring the line between craft and activism.

Rosalie is also the founder and creative director of N.E.P. (Nieuw Eindhovens Peil), a grassroots platform born out of the ashes of a squatted cultural space. With N.E.P., she curates concerts and designs communal infrastructure—such as an experimental building made of shipping containers—for a new generation of cultural makers in her city.

She believes in hands-on thinking, in design as a form of care, and in building the worlds we want to live in—together.
